Story, photoby Mike O’ConnorGosport Associate Editor

NAS Pensacola’s command masterchiefs (CMC) have earned their place inthe base’s history – and now have a per-manent record of it.

A plaque was unveiled Dec. 11 inNASP CMDCM(SW/AW) MichaelDollen’s office which lists all of the for-mer CMCs. The board is similar to the onewhich lists all of the commanding officersof NAS Pensacola.

The former CMCs were invited toattend the ceremony, which was held incommand headquarters, Bldg. 1500.Many of them still live in the Pensacolaarea. The current Master Chief PettyOfficer of the Navy (MCPON), MichaelD. Stevens, served as NASP’s CMDCMfrom 2005-2006. Stevens was also invitedbut was unable to attend.

“It commemorates the great masterchiefs who have led the helm here at NASPensacola,” NASP Commanding OfficerCapt. Christopher Plummer said. “This isa great testament to all of you who haveserved here before.”

Former CMDCM(AW) Clint Mims,who today works as a maintenance man-

ager with base contractor Regal SelectServices Inc., recalled his tenure as basecommand master chief with fondness.

“(It was an) opportunity to have the priv-ilege and honor to work with such an out-standing civilian staff as well as military,”Mims said. “What we called it back thenwas ‘welcome to working in paradise.’ ”

Mims thought the plaque appropriate.“This is historic, and I think history andtradition are an important part of ourNavy. We should never forget the men andwomen who have laid the groundwork for

Hundreds of area residents,civilians, service members andveterans attended a Dec. 7 WorldWar II remembrance at theNational Naval AviationMuseum. The two-hour pro-gram, with narration from muse-um volunteer Bob Pisz, includeda multimedia presentation of thekey events of the war years,accompanied by live music fromthe Tate High School Band.

Special guests included eightlocal veterans, survivors of theDec. 7, 1941, attack on PearlHarbor – Bill Braddock, Jay

Carraway, Frank Emond, JacobGallawa, Dale Hendricks, JimLandis, George Mills and Cass

Phillips. The group sat in thefront row with the widows ofother local Pearl Harbor vets:

Angie Engel, Ann Glaeser andDottie Graziani. This Dec. 7marked the 71st anniversary ofthe Japanese sneak attack on thePacific fleet’s anchorage at PearlHarbor; more than 2,400 servicemembers were killed in thatattack, which plunged the nationinto war.

The presentation was fol-lowed by guest speaker, localauthor and Marine veteran Dr.Sid Phillips. Guadalcanal veter-an Phillips’ character starred inHBO’s “The Pacific,” a serieswhich followed the battles ofWorld War II through the experi-ences of its four characters.Phillips’ recollections, both vividand sometimes humorous, pro-

vided an insight into the turbu-lent days of the war. An animat-ed question-and-answer sessionwith the crowd followed, andafterward Phillips signed copiesof his combat memoir, “You’llBe Sor-ree!”

Phillips, who graduated fromhigh school in June 1941,recalled the moments of hearingabout the Pearl Harbor attack onthe radio – and his decision toenlist.

• NAS Pensacola wins honorable mention •

The Gosport nameplate pays homage to the100th anniversary of naval aviation in 2011: theCentennial of Naval Aviation, or CONA.

The image on the left side of the nameplatedepicts Eugene Ely taking off in a Curtiss push-er bi-plane from the USS Pennsylvania Jan.18, 1911.

While Ely had taken off from the USSBirmingham two months earlier after his planehad been loaded on the ship, the USSPennsylvania event was the first time a planelanded on and then took off from a U.S. war-ship.

The image on the right side is the Navy’smost modern fighter aircraft, the F-18 SuperHornet.

Established in 1921 as the Air StationNews, the name Gosport was adopted in1936. A gosport was a voice tube used by flightinstructors in the early days of naval aviation togive instructions and directions to their stu-dents. The name “Gosport” was derived fromGosport, England (originally God’s Port),where the voice tube was invented.

to get the news on the radio,” hesaid. “Every station was carryingnews of the attack. I had two unclesthat had been in the Navy, so I wasfamiliar with the name (PearlHarbor).

“The news was very disturbing… and everyone had facial expres-sions of fright, alarm, fear and deepconcern. I recalled some ladiesstarted to cry, as the announcer toldus the casualties were in the thou-sands.” At that point, Phillips andhis high school friend in attendancedecided to join the Navy the nextmorning.

When they returned downtownthe next day to the recruiter, theyfound “a crowd you never couldhave imagined, a line two abreast atthe Navy office.” A Marinerecruiter across the hall offered theboys a deal to get them in the war

immediately, promising a chance tokill the enemy. The boys took hispapers to be signed by their parents.“We were both 17 years old andbarely old enough to enlist,”Phillips said. “And had never evenheard of Parris Island, SouthCarolina.” Before long, he wouldexperience boot camp, and fightingthe Japanese in the South Pacific –exactly as the recruiter had prom-ised.

Phillips appreciated the crowd atthe Dec. 7 commemoration, espe-cially the number of young peopleand service members. “I love to seesuch a patriotic turnout,” Phillipssaid.

“My message to you, my fellowAmericans, on this Pearl Harborday, is to work as hard as you can tobring a revival to patriotism,” hesaid. “Tom Brokaw wrote a booktitled ‘The Greatest Generation,’but I believe the greatest generation

of Americans is yet to come, and itwill be the generation that turns ournation back to the God of theBible.”

us.” Mims left NASP in 1999 and went on to PatrolSquadron VP-10 and his final tour as command masterchief at NAS Brunswick, Maine.

The senior enlisted leadership position was developedin the late 1970s; NAS Pensacola’s first CMC, AFCMJohn B. Craigie, came aboard in 1981. “There was nocommand master chief of NAS Pensacola prior to 1981,”Dollen said. “Prior to that there was a leading masterchief, but there was no person designated to work direct-ly for the CO as the senior enlisted adviser to the com-manding officer.”

NASP Public Affairs Officer Harry White spoke aboutthe importance of the CMC’s role shortly before the cere-mony. “Today’s event is about affording recognition to thesenior enlisted leadership of NAS Pensacola, going back tothe very first days we had a command master chief,” Whitesaid. “The command master chief is the eyes and ears ofthe commanding officer in terms of enlisted issues. And isa very, very important adviser to the commanding officerin establishing programs which deal with the issues beingfaced by not only the enlisted personnel, but also by thedependents. The CMC is in a position to address the issuesof the relationship and interaction between the enlistedforce and the officer corps. So he’s a very valuable andvery trusted adviser to the commanding officer.”

“I am very proud to be a part of this group,” Dollen said.“The command master chiefs here at NAS Pensacola havebeen taking care of the Sailors and their families here formany, many years. Starting with John Craigie in 1981, andcarrying through to Jeff Grosso, who’s my relief. One ofthe proudest achievements in my life was to serve as com-mand master chief of NAS Pensacola.”

The base CO took a moment to single out Dollen withhis congratulations and thanks, as he concludes his tour asCMC. Dollen was formally relieved byCMDCM(AW/SW) Jeffery Grosso Dec. 6. A retirementceremony for Dollen will take place Jan. 18, 1:30 p.m., atthe Five Flags Pavilion next to NASP Port Operations. Allare invited to attend.

The former NASP Command Master Chiefs include:• AFCM John B. Craigie, 1981-1987.• AKCM (AW/SW) Thomas D. Batten, 1987-1990.• ACCM (AW) Clause G. Bricks, 1990-1993.• AFCM (AW) Michael A.

My hands looked like theyhad been hit by shrapnel. ThePersian rug was imbeddedwith sawdust, pine needles andsticky spots of sap. The trunkof our Christmas tree, whichcould be clearly seen throughthe sparse branches, waswarped in the middle.

That’s what I got for tellingmy husband to pick out the treewithout me.

That day, the base lookedlike a winter wonderland withfluffy white snow stuck toevery surface. Neighbors mer-rily buzzed about, bundlingchildren for sledding andstocking up on holiday provi-sions.

I dropped my husband andour son off to help sellChristmas trees for the BoyScout troop, and witnessed asweet scene: twinkling lightsdraped, music playing, chil-dren savoring candy canes anda fire crackling. Dads could beheard wishing customers a“Merry Christmas” as uni-formed boys loaded trees ontocars.

Whatever “cockles” are,mine were warmed, and Icouldn’t wait for them to comehome with a beautiful tree. Ihad the perfect afternoonplanned: bring decorations upfrom basement, put up tree,make hot cocoa, set up train,play Christmas music whilethe whole family decorates and

gazes at tree while snuggled infamily room. I love this time ofyear.

Three hours later the boyscame home with a wrappedtree, and started to put the

trunk in the stand. My husband has never been

handy, and moments like theseare always tense. Sensing heneeded assistance, I grabbedthe top of the tree. “Ow!” Iwailed, looking down at fourtiny pinholes in my thumb.“What kind of tree is this, any-way?”

“I don’t know … a fir, aspruce, how the heck do Iknow,” he stammered.

Wearing gloves, we securedthe tree in its stand and beganto lift.

“Uh oh,” I said when thetree was at 10 o’clock.

“What?” my husbandbarked, nervously.

“It’s not going to fit. Howtall is this thing, anyway?”

“I don’t know … but wehave high ceilings, right?”

“No, Hon, we have low ceil-ings, remember?” I said, tryingto remain calm.

My husband had alwaysreferred to hardware stores as“haunted houses,” so homerepairs were generally handledby me. But in the spirit of hol-iday tradition, we thought itbest to not reverse convention-al gender roles, especiallywhile the children were watch-ing.

My husband emerged fromour basement with a saw, andstood befuddled over our tree.I had seen this look on his facea thousand times, and knew hehad no clue what to do.

Quickly measuring the treeand ceiling heights, I declared,

“According to my calcula-tions, you need to cut off onefoot, eight inches.”

He took a step forward, andI yelled, “No! Not from thetop!”

Wincing, I held the spikymiddle while my husbandsliced at the barbed trunk. Afew painful minutes later, thebottom of the tree surrendered,and we were able to get thetree upright in the stand.

“It looks so small now,” ourson observed as we gawked atthe maimed tree surrounded bysawdust and needles. “And it’scrooked too.” Over the nexthour, we disguised the prob-lem with as many lights as pos-sible.

“Are we ever gonna put theornaments on?” our youngestwhined for the thousandthtime. After drowning their dis-appointment in several mugsof hot cocoa, the childrenfinally abandoned us and ranoff to play.

Around 5 p.m., the treelooked OK, but my husbandstill lay on the floor with thetrain set, emitting variousexpletives. Having found themanual too confusing, hewinged it. Not surprisingly, thetrain would not budge.

I didn’t want to reinforce his“if-I-screw-this-up-she’ll-fix-it-anyway” habit, but I could-n’t take it anymore. I openedthe manual, found the diagramof track configurations, assem-bled an elongated circle,stripped the wires to expose

fresh copper, inserted thewiring into the correct terminal,properly positioned the wheels,turned on the power, and awayshe went like the wind.

Exhausted by the fiasco, Iordered Chinese take away fordinner.

“Great job with the train,Dad,” our middle child said asshe crunched into a spring roll.

“And the tree looks terrific,too, Dad,” our son offered witha mouthful of rice.

“Yea, thanks Dad!” ouryoungest exclaimed as shethrew her arms around Francis’neck.

“You’re quite welcome,kids,” my husband said with awink, “that’s what dads arefor.”

‘Tis the season – to avoid home firesFrom Fire & EmergencyServices Gulf Coast

Decorating homes andbusinesses is a long-standing tradition aroundthe Christmas and holiday season.

Unfortunately, thesesame decorations mayincrease your chances offire, so we wanted to stayon the “cheerful” side ofthings and share a fewsimple fire safety tips thatcan keep your lights shin-ing, candles burning andthe “Joy of the Season”going.

Picking the tree • If you have an artifi-

cial tree, be sure it islabeled, certified or iden-tified by the manufactur-er as fire retardant.

• Choose a live treewith fresh, green needlesthat do not fall off when

touched.Placing the tree• Before placing the

tree in the stand, cut 1 to2 inches from the base ofthe trunk.

• Make sure the tree isat least three feet awayfrom any heat source, likefireplaces, radiators, can-dles, heat vents or lights.

• Make sure the tree isnot blocking an exit.

• Add water to the treestand. Be sure to addwater daily.

Lighting the tree• Use lights that have

the label of an independ-ent testing laboratory.Some lights are only forindoor or outdoor use,but not both.

• Replace any string oflights with worn or bro-ken cords or loose bulbconnections. Connect nomore than three strands

of mini string sets and amaximum of 50 bulbs forscrew-in bulbs. Readmanufacturer’s instruc-tions for number of LEDstrands to connect.

• Never use lit candlesto decorate the tree.

• Always turn offChristmas tree lightsbefore leaving home orgoing to bed.

After Christmas• Get rid of the tree

when it begins droppingneedles. Dried-out treesare a fire danger andshould not be left in thehome or garage, orplaced outside againstthe home. Check withyour local community tofind a recycling program.Bring outdoor electrical

lights inside after the hol-idays to prevent hazardsand make them lastlonger.

Other decorations• Candles – if you go

out, ensure they are out.• Fireplaces – ensure

you have a screen andthat the fire is out beforeleaving the house orgoing to bed.

• Hanging lights – useproper hangers – don’tnail or staple.

• Don’t overload yourelectrical circuits.

• Just use commonsense and stay safe – ifyou have questions con-tact the Fire &Emergency ServicesGulf Coast fire preven-tion Office at 452-2898.

Space heaters, decorations: check the power cordsFrom National Fire ProtectionAssociation

SAPR-F Master Mobile Training Teams deployingBy Ed BarkerNETC PAO

VIRGINIA BEACH,Va. — Master MobileTraining Teams from theNavy’s Sexual AssaultPrevention and Response(SAPR) Task Force arepreparing to deploy world-wide to provide SAPR-F(Fleet) PreparationTraining to commandtraining teams, Navy offi-cials announced recently.

The SAPR-F training isthe latest event in theNavy’s aggressive effortsto prevent sexual assaultsand promote essential cul-ture changes within theforce. The 20 SAPR-FMaster Mobile TrainingTeams (MMTTs) begandeploying around theglobe starting Dec. 6 toprovide SAPR-F prepara-tion training to designatedmid-level leadership com-mand training teams infleet concentration areasand locations with signifi-

cant Navy presence. Theseteams will then deliver theSAPR-F training to theirE-6 and below personnel,which must be completedat each command byMarch 31.

Capt. William Marvel,chief of staff for the SAPRTask Force, explained thatthe MMTT preparatorytraining will enable thecommand training teamsto provide valuable SAPR-F training to Sailors atevery command through-out the Navy.

“These MMTTs aremodeled after the very suc-cessful MMTTs thatdeployed globally in sup-port of SAPR-Leadershiptraining. They will provideindividual command train-ing teams with the toolsnecessary to stimulate anopen conversation to rein-force Sailor commitmentand encourage them tointervene with otherSailors to reduce sexualassaults and promote a cul-

ture of respect, trust andprofessionalism in ourforce,” said Marvel.“SAPR-F continues thestoryline from SAPR-L,but is reoriented to focuson bystander intervention,emphasize the importanceof disrupting the continu-um of harm and recognizemisplaced loyalties.”

The MMTT training iscoordinated and hosted bythe Center for Personal andProfessional Development(CPPD) and will helpensure a consistent mes-sage reaches the force —sexual assault is a crimeand will not be tolerated inthe Navy, according toMarvel.

“The SAPR-F traininguses video vignettes andfacilitated face-to-face dis-cussion to provide com-mand leaders the tools todevelop and promote aculture of change,” saidCapt. John Newcomer,CPPD commanding offi-cer. “We’ve put a lot of

time and effort into work-ing with our contractor toensure that the training isinnovative, effective andrelevant with today’sSailors, making sure theycan relate to the scenariosin the video.”

More than 1,000 face-to-face SAPR-FPreparation Training ses-sions are scheduled start-ing in mid-December andrunning through mid-January, providing trainingfor active and reserve com-ponent training teams.Those teams that aredeployed and unable toattend a face-to-face train-

ing session can receive thetraining via DefenseConnect Online. Aftercommand training teamsprovide the SAPR-F train-ing to their E-6 and below,each command is respon-sible for documentingcompletion via the FleetTraining ManagementPlanning System(FLTMPS).

Lt. Erich Hill, assignedteam leader for one of thePacific Fleet MMTTs, willpresent some of the firstSAPR-F training sessions,starting at Naval BaseKitsap, Bremerton, Wash.

“The MMTT session

was very effective andreally prepared me to leadthe SAPR-F training,” saidHill. “The materials werespot on and the groupdynamic and critique for-mat of the MMTT sessionwas really thought out andgreatly appreciated. I’mexcited to go back to theNorthwest and train thecommand teams.”

Domestic violence awareness: when secrets cannot be secretBy Special Agent Carrie NelsonNCIS

Life isn’t always easy. Moneyis tight. The kids act up in school.The house never seems to stayclean. And you can’t sleep at nightbecause your neighbors are at itagain. The shouting. The yelling.The glass breaking. You alsonotice that when the two of themare out in public, he interrupts her,criticizes her, yells at her andscares her. It’s one more problemthat you don’t want to face. But, itis your problem, because this kindof behavior, public or private, iseveryone’s problem.

This is domestic violence. It’snot just something you read about.It doesn’t just happen in themovies. It happens in your com-munity. Maybe it’s your friend,your co-worker, neighbor or gymbuddy. Maybe it’s happening inyour own home.

Domestic violence is not justblack eyes and broken bones. Itdoesn’t even have to be physical.It can also be verbal abuse,attempts to belittle and shatteryour self-esteem. It can be threatsand intimidation. It can be zerocontrol over your finances, mak-ing you completely dependentupon your abuser. And worse, ifyour abuser isn’t hitting your kids– yet – your kids are watching thisviolence play out. And they aretaking it in. Did you know thatsons who grow up in a house withdomestic violence are up to 1,000times more likely to become wife

beaters? They continue the cycleof violence that they learn as chil-dren.

Too often people think domes-tic violence can’t happen to them,or their relationship is too strong tofall victim to domestic violence.What may have started as a caring,loving relationship can sometimesturn into a gruesome andunhealthy partnership. There is noone face of domestic violence; vic-tims and abusers can be of anyage, sex, race, culture, religion,education, employment or maritalstatus. The only common thread isthe relationship between the abus-er and the abused, where the abus-er uses a set of behaviors to controlanother person. Whether the abuseis a one-time attack or prolongedaggression, domestic violence canhave lasting effects and it cantransform the home from a placeof safety and love to one of dangerand fear.

The effects of domestic vio-lence on Navy and Marine Corpspersonnel adversely affect theNavy’s mission to train and equipcombat ready naval forces capableof winning wars. Domestic vio-lence directly impacts unit moraleand readiness. When a servicemember lives with domestic vio-lence, as either the abuser or thevictim, they can’t perform up totheir expected standards. And suchbehavior is not just wrong; it isalso a crime. In some cases, if aservice member is convicted of adomestic violence assault, even amisdemeanor, they can no longerdeploy.

The Naval CriminalInvestigative Service (NCIS) andFleet and Family Support Center(FFSC) take the issue of domesticviolence very seriously since itimpacts mission readiness, thusposing a significant risk to every-one in our naval community. If

you have seen, heard about or feltthe effects of domestic violence, itis your responsibility, as a memberof the military community, to takeaction. This isn’t someone else’sproblem. It’s not a “family issue”or a “private matter.” This is yourproblem. And you can make a dif-ference. By keeping quiet, you aretelling the abuser that their viciousbehavior is OK. You must activelyconfront the issue of domestic vio-lence, because not only is domes-tic violence illegal, it is wrong. Itbreaks down levels of commit-ment, love and responsibility. Itdestroys households, relation-ships, families and futures.Domestic violence does not solveany problems, it only createsmore. Ignoring it further perpetu-ates the cycle of silence.

If you are being abused, don’ttell yourself it can’t get any worse.It can and it will. Department ofDefense statistics report that 33percent of female homicide vic-tims are killed by an intimate part-ner. While you may be afraid toreport domestic violence becauseof career problems or a worseningof abuse, the Department of theNavy has resources to help you.The earlier domestic violence isreported, the higher the chances ofsuccessful treatment and the con-tinuation of a normal militarycareer.

For victims or people who haveseen, heard or felt the effects ofdomestic violence there areoptions if you come forward:restricted and unrestricted report-

ing. Restricted reporting allowsthe abused to receive medicalattention without command notifi-cation or law enforcementinvolvement, with the exceptionbeing full disclosure to commandor law enforcement when neces-sary to prevent an imminent threatto the victim or another person.Unrestricted reporting results incommand notification, lawenforcement involvement andFFSC participation, which pro-vides victims with a number ofadvocacy services, including med-ical services, risk assessment,intervention and counseling.

Remember: domestic violencecan be prevented if people getinvolved. Step up and confront theabuser by telling them that theiractions are illegal and hurt every-one in their family and communi-ty.

Attitudes need to change, andyou can start that change whenyou take actions to show thatdomestic violence is wrong andhas no place in the Navy or MarineCorps.

If you are being abused you arenot alone. The National DomesticViolence Hotline is available tohelp. Hotline services include cri-sis intervention, safety planning,information about domestic vio-lence and referrals for local serviceproviders. 1 (800) 799-7233.

Step up and intervene. Breakthe silence. Break the cycle.You’re not only authorized toreport suspected domestic vio-lence. You’re obligated to do it.

A Visit from

St.Nicholas’Twas the night before Christmas,when all through the houseNot a creature was stirring, not even a mouse;The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads;And mamma in her ’kerchief, and I in my cap,Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap,

When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,I sprang from the bed to see what was the matter.Away to the window I flew like a flash,Tore open the shutters and threw up the sash.

The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snowGave the lustre of mid-day to objects below,When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,But a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny reindeer,

With a little old driver, so lively and quick,I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;

“Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer and Vixen!On, Comet! On Cupid! On, Donder and Blitzen!To the top of the porch! To the top of the wall!Now dash away! Dash away! Dash away, all!”

As dry leaves that before the wild hurricane fly,When they meet with an obstacle, mount to the sky,So up to the house-top the coursers they flew,With the sleigh full of toys, and St. Nicholas too.

And then, in a twinkling, I heard on the roofThe prancing and pawing of each little hoof.As I drew in my hand, and was turning around,Down the chimney St. Nicholas came with a bound.He was dressed all in fur, from his head to his foot,And his clothes were all tarnished with ashes and soot;A bundle of toys he had flung on his back,And he looked like a peddler just opening his pack.

His eyes — how they twinkled! His dimples — how merry!His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!His droll little mouth was drawn up like a bow,And the beard of his chin was as white as the snow;

The stump of a pipe he held tight in his teeth,And the smoke it encircled his head like a wreath;He had a broad face and a little round belly,That shook, when he laughed like a bowlful of jelly.

He was chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf,And I laughed when I saw him, in spite of myself;A wink of his eye and a twist of his head,Soon gave me to know I had nothing to dread;

He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work,And filled all the stockings; then turned with a jerk,And laying his finger aside of his nose,And giving a nod, up the chimney he rose;

He sprang to his sleigh, to his team gave a whistle,And away they all flew like the down of a thistle.But I heard him exclaim, ere he drove out of sight,“Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night.”

St.Nicholas

Story, photoby Ens. Alexander PerrienNETC PAO

AWS1 Bryan Hast’s life ofadventure, spanning from theislands of the Pacific to thedeserts of the Middle East, beganwith his decision to “get out thereand make his own way.” As a1999 graduate of Edison HighSchool in Berlin Heights, Ohio,and four-year basketball player,Hast looked for an experienceapart from the norm.

“I didn’t want to do something‘standard,’ ” said Hast. “I wantedto do something exciting. Joiningthe Army and becoming aRanger had been my plan, butsomehow the Navy recruiter gotto me first.”

After finishing boot camp inGreat Lakes, Ill., Hast was select-ed for aircrew training and sent toPensacola. He graduated near thetop of his aircrew class and con-sequently qualified for the eliteNaval Aviation Rescue SwimmerSchool overseen by NavalAviation Schools Command(NASC).

“The curriculum for RescueSwimmer School is one of theNavy’s most grueling trainingprograms and is both mentallyand physically challenging,” saidNASC CMC Jimmie Carter. TheSailors who make it throughRescue Swim School are quali-fied to conduct search and rescueoperations from rotary wing air-craft.

“I graduated Rescue SwimmerSchool just before Christmas of1999 and was sent to my ‘A’School, or basic level training, to

be an aviation machinist’s mate.From there I got orders to NavalAir Station Roosevelt RoadsPuerto Rico, in a fleet supportcapacity, attached to an H-3 heli-copter squadron,” said Hast.“Back then, the whole battlegroup would practice shootingtorpedoes, and dropping bombson the ranges around RooseveltRoads. We were assigned to pickup the practice rounds and bringthem back to the ships for reuse.”

Hast’s time in Puerto Ricoended after the naval air stationwas decommissioned in lateMarch of 2004. He was thenassigned to a squadron based outof Patuxent River Naval AirStation, Md., where the missionwas strictly inland-based searchand rescue.

“We would get called for res-

cues all the time. But generallythe Coast Guard vessels,deployed from a nearby station,would always come and snag therescue from us,” said Hast. “Oneday we got a call that there was asailboat stuck out in the middle ofChesapeake Bay. It was prettynasty out that day, big sea stateand gale-force winds. We got outover the bay and there was thisboat with its bow sticking straightout of the water. The anchor linehad been wrapped around thekeel and got stuck in the mud. Wesaw a guy just sitting there wav-ing at us. I sent both of my swim-mers in, jumping out at 15 feet,and they swam onboard.”

Following his time at PatuxentRiver, Hast was assigned to asquadron onboard the HospitalShip USNS Mercy.

The Mercy carried out its mis-sion across the Pacific visitingvarious small islands and coun-tries in need. After his timeaboard the Mercy, Hast was reas-signed for two deployments to anair ambulance squadron operat-ing out of Kuwait. Their mission,at the time, was to pick upwounded Soldiers and Sailors insupport of Operation IraqiFreedom.

Hast now uses his extensivefield experience in the rescueswimmer community to augmenthis lessons as the leading pettyofficer (LPO) for Naval MilitaryTraining (NMT) at the Navy’sAircrew School. From predatorylending to drug abuse, NMT isdesigned to educate Sailors onthe dangers faced on and off base,as well as the rich history of theservice. Hast’s excellence in theposition was recognized with thisyear’s award for Instructor of theYear (IoY) within NASC.

“Petty Officer Hast holds thehighest level of responsibility ofany of the LPOs at this com-mand,” explained Hast’s supervi-sor, HMC Keith Griffin, whonominated him for Instructor ofthe Year. “He basically runs thedaily lives of all of our enlistedstudents, making sure that thetransition from their initial train-ing in boot camp to being a Sailorin the real world goes smoothly.”

“He is a silent leader. One ofthose guys that doesn’t need tosay a lot, but when he does, thestudents respond,” added Griffin.“At the same time he is able torelate to them on their levelbecause he understands whatthey are going through.”

Hast tries to play two separateroles as an instructor. “When weare in the classroom I’m notsome mean instructor guy, andout on the PT field I have to moti-vate these guys so they learnwhat it means to push throughsomething. I think my ability torelate in the field and in the class-room, on the proper levels, is oneof my greatest strengths as aninstructor,” reasoned Hast.

Griffin says quality instructionin the job of NMT is essential inthe future success of newlyenlisted Sailors.

“These Sailors just came froma little over eight weeks of bootcamp and are now being transi-tioned into the real world, theyhave just gotten off of mom anddad’s pocket book, and are nowon their own,” said Griffin. “PettyOfficer Hast encompasses every-thing an instructor should be andhas exceeded our expectationsfor his role in NMT.”

Hast suggested that the mostimportant thing he has learnedthroughout his career is to takecare of one’s Sailors.

“I think if you take care ofyour Sailors good things willcome to you. Everyone canremember one person in theircareer that helped them out whenthey were in trouble or neededsome advice. If I can be that per-son for a few people, I think theNavy will always take care ofme,” explained Hast. “The tworules that allow you to get aheadin the Navy are doing your joband being on time. If you dothose two things, people willremember you. It’s simple but itworks.”
